Philosophy Consciousness

Covering interesting and varied philosophical terrain, Cycling - Philosophy for Everyone explores in a fun but critical way the rich philosophical, cultural, and existential experiences that arise when two wheels are propelled by human energy.

Thinkers everywhere are conscious of two things, first, that the region of mystery has never before been so clearly defined, and secondly, that that region can be entered more easily than has hitherto been the case; it may, therefore, perhaps be induced to render up some of its secrets if investigators of all schools pursue their search with determination.

Vivimos en un mundo complejo, revuelto. Asediados por emergencias climáticas, tecnologías adictivas, políticas radicales, conflictos culturales, un consumo desbocado y noticias que nos aturden y confunden, necesitamos más que nunca detenernos a pensar. En este singular y valioso audiolibrolibro, la filósofa María Ángeles Quesada nos ilustra sobre una gran virtud, un tanto olvidada: la virtud de pensar. Aborda de manera directa y amena en qué consiste el pensamiento crítico y cómo impulsarlo y cultivarlo.

"The Joyful Wisdom", written in 1882, just before "Zarathustra", is rightly judged to be one of Nietzsche's best books. Here the essentially grave and masculine face of the poet-philosopher is seen to light up and suddenly break into a delightful smile. The warmth and kindness that beam from his features will astonish those hasty psychologists who have never divined that behind the destroyer is the creator, and behind the blasphemer the lover of life.

Paul Thagard explores the physiological workings and metaphorical resonance of balance in the brain, the body, and society. He describes the neural mechanisms that keep bodies balanced and explains why their failures can result in nausea, falls, or vertigo. Thagard connects bodily balance with leading ideas in neuroscience, including the nature of consciousness.

Prosegue il viaggio nella dimensione che i Sufi dischiudono a se stessi e che imparano ad abitare, percorrendo un sentiero che si fonda su alcune comprensioni fondamentali: in primo luogo, il riconoscimento della propria ignoranza. Rendersene conto attiva, per contralto, la scintilla di intelligenza che permette di percepire ciò che è Reale. E dedicarsi alla verità è per un Sufi vivere appassionatamente, distaccandosi passo passo dalle idee stereotipate che condizionano il normale essere al mondo.

Far more than a mere history of the practice of yoga and beyond a study of psychedelic-substance use to aid the pursuit of enlightenment, Who Am I? is a broad, expansive journey told through the eyes of a scholar and researcher - a pilgrim in search of the meaning of life.

Während der Jahre des Ersten Weltkrieges widmete sich Steiner intensiv der Verteidigung seiner anthroposophischen Geisteswissenschaft gegen zeitgenössische Kritiker. Die Schrift ›Von Seelenrätseln‹ von 1917 ist Ausdruck dieser Bemühungen. Steiner legt darin Wert darauf, die Anthroposophie methodisch klarer zu fassen als in früheren Texten und deren Forschungsansatz methodisch gegenüber dem naturwissenschaftlichen Paradigma zu verorten.

The Greek philosopher Socrates once asked his student Phaedrus: "Where have you come from and where are you going?" These two simple questions are at the heart of "real" Greek philosophy. We all want to know where the universe came from, and what is our place in it. We also want to choose the best, most fulfilling and happiest life for ourselves in the years ahead.

The real value of money is not to buy more things, it’s to “buy” more time to spend with people and on activities we cherish most. Time is the most used word in the English language, its meaning so obvious, until we try to explain it. By listening to this book, you will learn how science has revealed the true nature of time, how to understand it, value it, and experience more of it.

Doğu’nun ve Batı’nın birçok romantik ozanı gibi, Cibran’ın da gençlik hayalleri, adaletsizliğin ve zorbalığın ellerinde gibi görünen bu dünyadan, sonsuzluğun beyaz ışığına doğru uçmuştur. İki farklı yazın türü olan bu yapıtların ortak özelliği Cibran'ın görkemli betimlemeleri derin düşünceleri ve "kanatlı sözleriyle" insanı başka bir dünyaya sonsuz bir dinginliğe taşıyor olması.

Een praktische gids met de ideeën van de beroemde filosoof Friedrich Nietzsche als leidraad voor een intenser en creatiever leven. Met Nietzsche aan de keukentafel leert je met andere ogen kijken naar jezelf en de wereld om je heen. Aan de hand van praktische vragen en oefeningen word je uitgedaagd je opvattingen kritisch te bevragen en eerlijk te kijken naar wat jij belangrijk vindt. Hoe blijf je jezelf in een groep? Hoe vind je je sterke kanten en valkuilen? En bovenal: hoe geef jij betekenis aan een in wezen doelloos bestaan? Friedrich Nietzsche omschreef zichzelf als een nihilist.

We live in a world defined by duality, yet our true essence remains nondual. "Being in the world, but not of the world" encapsulates this profound truth. This Glorious Dance invites you into a nondualistic and paradoxical exploration of life, challenging conventional views of existence with piercing insights and whimsical musings.

In this book, Aaron Simmons takes us on a trip to the mountains to reflect on the meaning of life. In a world too often defined by a quest for “success” that leaves us empty, alone, and anxious, Simmons seeks “faithfulness“ outdoors with thinkers and artists from Aristotle to Kierkegaard, Sartre to Anne Lamott, and Kendrick Lamar to Donovan Woods. Simmons invites us to rethink what it means to make choices, take risks, be alone and silent while cultivating friendships, and to find our calling by facing our vulnerability.

Secondo Osho «Il silenzio è la meditazione per eccellenza, ed è la base di qualsiasi esperienzareligiosa. Ma in cosa consiste? Potresti crearlo, potresti coltivarlo, potresti importelo... ma così rimane qualcosa di superficiale, di falso, una finzione. Potresti farne una pratica, in quel casoinizierai a percepirlo e a sperimentarlo; ma proprio il tuo farne un esercizio, lo renderà una sorta di autoipnosi. Quello non è il vero silenzio. Il silenzio vero affiora solo quando la tua mente si dissolve, non a causa di un qualsiasi sforzo, magrazie a una comprensione.

“La musica è meditazione: meditazione cristallizzata in una particolare dimensione. La meditazione è musica: musica che si dissolve nell’assenza di dimensioni. Ami la musica perché intorno ad essa senti accadere la meditazione. Ne sei assorbito, inebriato. Qualcosa dell’ignoto inizia a discendere in te. Il tuo cuore batte a un ritmo diverso: sei in sintonia con l’universo. All’improvviso sei immerso in un profondo orgasmo con il Tutto. Una danza sottile penetra nel tuo essere, una soglia chiusa da sempre inizia ad aprirsi.
